With government funding running out in just 8 days, MAGA Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson have yet to present a viable solution to avoid a government shutdown.
Americans deserve better. It’s time they work with Democrats to deliver a bipartisan solution and avoid a devastating shutdown.
Democrats passed the enhanced Child Tax Credit and cut child poverty nearly in half. Republicans fought against renewing it, and now millions more families are going hungry.
To make matters worse, Republicans are pushing to gut SNAP benefits that help millions of families get the food they need.
I support the Administration's push for a pause in military operations to get humanitarian assistance into Gaza and help civilians find safety. More must be done to help innocent Palestinian civilians as Hamas is held accountable for their awful acts and we work to free hostages.
One of the worst mass shootings in history happened last night in Maine. My heart goes out to the victims and their families, this is so awful.
This doesn’t happen in other countries and it shouldn’t happen here. We need more leaders who are willing to do something about it.
Mike Johnson built his career on attacking marriage equality and LGBTQ Americans' rights. He was the main architect of efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He supports a national abortion ban with NO exceptions.
Every single House Republican just voted to make him Speaker.
It has now been three weeks since we had a Speaker of the House. The Republican civil war rages on, but we could end this chaos and dysfunction immediately if just a few of them were willing to work across the aisle.
If any of our Republican colleagues want to treat governing the country with the seriousness it deserves as opposed to a reality TV spectacle, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has proposed a better way.
BIG NEWS: In August, the Biden administration announced 10 drugs for price negotiation. The companies have now agreed to come to the table to lower prescription prices for the American people.
Washington Post: Youngkin downplays shutdown threat, which hits just as Va. voting begins
www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
I just received this letter from a U.S. Army Reserve soldier describing how a shutdown will impact her.
It’s just awful. Nobody should be rooting for a shutdown, people will really get hurt if this happens.
CNN: The Republican Party infighting is driving America toward a government shutdown
Republicans fixating on the Senate dress code two weeks before a shutdown are wildly out of touch.
Millions of American workers are about to go without pay because the House GOP can't do their jobs and this is where the focus is?
America needs you to do better than this.
Axios: Dems urge McCarthy to face reality, work with them on spending bills
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Hispanic Americans continue to make powerful contributions to our nation and are integral to our society and our economy. Throughout this month, we celebrate this rich heritage.
Our society and national security depend on systems that heavily rely on space-based operations, but federal leadership isn't keeping pace with the ballooning number of satellites powering them. My bill with Donald Norcross and Representative Zoe Lofgren would help:
#OTD in 1994 President Clinton signed into law the federal Assault Weapons Ban, which was law for a decade until it expired in 2004. Congress should renew the Assault Weapons Ban – it would help prevent mass shootings, reduce gun violence, and save lives.
The Hill: Senate GOP says House lacks evidence for impeachment
Democrats passed the enhanced Child Tax Credit and cut child poverty nearly in half. Every Republican voted against it.
Republicans fought against renewing it, instead wanting to cut taxes for the wealthy and large corporations— and the child poverty rate just more than doubled.
